I found it to always be a violent event. The only difference was that in a tunnel boat you had that moment when you knew " this is going to hurt". Usually in flats and V- bottoms you just found yourself in the water wondering what happened.

Never drove a capsule boat. I just got spit out every time. Safety consisted of a good helmet, a good life jacket and good luck.
Just enough time to think to yourself "Damn, I'm going to get wet. Again"
Funny how it goes from sunshine to raining turds so fast...
The funny thing is that I suffered my worst injuries racing bicycles not boats or any other motor sport.

I find it hard to picture him in a wheelchair. Attachment 340861 That guy in the red and white boat in the picture is the Johnny I always remember.
I remember seeing the trees on the shoreline ahead of me and then the tops of the trees and then the blue sky and then I closed my eyes real tight cause I knew this wasn't going to end well. When it went upside down I fell out like a turd. I broke 3 ribs and has several stitches to my mouth. This is the aftermath.
